Breaking Baz: UK Panto King Michael Harrison On How Andrew Lloyd Webber Put His Name In Lights, And William & Kate’s Family Night At Palladium


London's pantomime king Michael Harrison reflects on his career as Andrew Lloyd Webber pays tribute to him at the Palladium.

They included Jane McDonald, who was playing Maid Marion, Julian Clary as the eponymous hero of Sherwood Forest, Marisha Wallace as the Sheriff of Nottingham, ace ventriloquist Paul Zerdin, Nigel Havers, Rob Madge and Charlie Stemp. I dutifully sat between Michael Harrison, with his directing hat on, and choreographer Karen Bruce, as Elaine Yeung, the deputy stage manager and show-caller, called on Madge, playing the Spirit of Sherwood, to kick off the show. Harrison had assembled a company that included Elaine Paige, Julian Clary, Beverly Knight, Charlie Stemp, Jac Yarrow, Ashley Banjo, Gary Wilmot, Paul Zerdin and Nigel Havers.
